Scofield Study Bible Box Christmas Gift #1: Starting Out

Being my first project on here and my woodworking skills are rather limited, bare with me as I post bits and pieces and try to make sense of it for you all.

Christmas is coming upon us quickly and as usual, I am in a rush to figure out gifts for the family. Being a holiday that society forgot the real meaning of… my wife and I decided to give the family a Scofield Study Bible to help reinstate the true purpose of the day.

Of course, no worthy book is complete without a proper container to protect it from the holiday cookie dough, sprinkles and egg nog. That’s why I decided to build a basic black walnut box to prevent the festive disaster from occurring.

Below is a picture of the wood I am starting with. My brother and I picked up a few boards of black walnut sap wood to use for a very very special project that I won’t go into here as he may want to post that himself at a later date. I was able to use the left over lumber to build this project as well though.
